Currently when a product is deleted, any linked assets get relinked to a random product. This is concerning and causes confusion. If a product is deleted the asset should either also be deleted, or at the very least it should be unlinked from products and not assigned to a different product without our knowledge.
Thanks!
I wasn't even aware of this behavior. Definitely feels buggish to me and should be fixed ASAP.
Ideally there could be a checkbox on the product deletion screen indicating that you want to delete any attached asset files, but regardless they should simply become unlinked to any product as a default action.
